Pistachio's Racing Blue 182 Project Thread



Expensive day today but it's nice to have it all done and out of the way. Timing belt, water pump, dephaser and aux belt. Both of the radiators had rusted away around the bottom mounts, so have been replaced with new items. Exhaust is blowing as per usual. Discs are getting low too.

Hope the proper timing tools were used! Presume you've used them before?

Looks a clean Rb I really should start a thread for my rb 182 cup that I've owned just over a year
 
Something I've been meaning to do for a while is replace the top dash to get rid of the sticky centre bit. Found two clios at the local scrappy. One was fresh-in and very clean but the centre part was scuffed. I found another, 3 cars high, that was a little dirty from the door being left open but in mint condition. Had a nightmare getting it off because it just wouldn't let go of the airbag unit! I ended up unbolting the airbag just to release the dash. £25 👍

Fitted

I had new front discs and pads fitted a couple of months ago. One of the calipers was also sticking on. The garage said they fixed it but it has been squeaking at low speed since. And over the last couple of days has started to sound worse at speed. So it is booked in to the garage on Tuesday to have a look.

Today I finally fitted the climate panel that I've had lying around for ages, thanks to @RustyMojo who told me how easy it was to fit! It's not mint but it's so much nicer to use! That is now all of the sticky parts replaced in the car :cool:

Also got these black surround headlights to replace the faded xenons. Can't wait to get them fitted 😄
I want to delete the washers too, since they keep pouring all of my screen wash on the floor

Black halogen headlights fitted today and the washer pipes blocked off :cool:

I might get some carbon blanks eventually

Foggy old xenons

The fitment certainly isn't as good as oem, but for £60 a pair you can't complain. The front end looks so fresh now :love:
 
Today I got around to a couple of things I've been meaning to do for a while. Also got some plugs and an air filter to go with the recent oil change.

The door check strap has been clunking for a while

Just remove the single bolt

Tie on some earth sleeving, undo the other 2 bolts and it wil drop down to the speaker hole. It has to be earth sleeving, definitely not string

I also replaced the snapped fuel rail guard stud, which has been broken since I got the car

Swapped the plugs and the air filter, then as I was tightening up the hose clamp...

So I'm off to B&Q for a replacement 😁
